HERE is a superb, exhaustive, allcolour guide to British Rail shunters Class 01 to 14 as represented in preservation. Using extended captions, an explanation is given as to how each shunter ended up at its current heritage venue, where many of them have been restored to pristine condition as essential workhorses.

EXCELLENT READY REFERENCE GUIDE
